Stop Motion Animation
Learn how to bring life to anything using the art of Stop-Motion Animation. Using state-of-the-art software, a little patience and guidance, tell a story one frame at a time, movement by incremental movement. We will use found objects, toys and possibly even make our own stop-motion models with some clay.
Whether you have done animation before, this is your first time, or you are curious and want to know what the deal is, all are welcome! Instructor Nick Spreitzer will guide you and lay down a foundation of skills and knowledge that can be taken anywhere. Join us and let’s have fun…one frame at a time of course!
Dates: 3/24, 3/31, 4/7, 4/21, 4/28, 5/5, 5/12, 5/19
Time: 3:30 – 4:30pm
Ages: 6th-8th grade, high school students upon request
